Sup dude!
have never actually used any dating apps but basically its checking ya fundamentals and ya game, but of course there talking to a lot of guys so unless ya look amazing on ya picture the simple hey name might not cut it cause everyone and there dog is doing that yah?
its the same rules as ya text game, when ya starting out always give them something to reply to and look for anything ya can use. Something in their profile yah? something from one of the pictures? It can direct a conversation and if ya stuck or just think FUCK THIS the simple hey name breaks the ice and if they dont respond ya can always send a follow up!!
avoid compliments and break the routine, try and get a date in line within 5 message, 10 if they need a little more warming up first but get the date and then get the number. Ya now got a purpose and ya broke the mould to the usual shit everyone else is doing. Its basically text game amplified with a mix of THIS IS YOUR APPROACH! so what would ya say to them if ya were out and bumped into them yah?
This is why dating apps suck it kills game that ya will never develop if ya relying on an app. The whole confidence boost yad get actually talking to them in person. Yeah rejection is more in ya face this way but ultimately ya improve ya fundamentals and game much quicker. No diss to people using apps, if it works it works yah? TBH its summit have been debating using for a while cause FOMO. Ma dude who is terrible with women got 30 matches since the new year alone, were have been out twice since and met 3 people. If its a numbers game a dont like me odds dudes! Anyway yah thats another thread.
If ya in doubt Hi NAME! if ya got summit to work with, then work with it. This way ya *approach* is personalised and matches who ya talking to ya? No cookie cutter SHIT here!!
